unknown rudder of bf109F or G

Gentlemen,

in a russian webpage I found the attached image, depicting a rudder with a nice symbol. I would like to know who was the pilot of this aircraft. Maybe somebody knows where this image was first published.
TIA

I guess it was Gordon Gollob when Kommodore of JG 77.
There's another picture published in Karl Ries' Rudermarkierungen, taken a few days later with a few more victories.

Hello,

Christian is right, it is Gollob's Bf 109 F-4/trop WNr.10266 while he was the Geschwaderkommodore of JG77.
It was damaged 35% on 09.06.42 in aerial combat.
